Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 23)   Rail: Out 3m 1100m-W/Post, True Remainder.  

Genuine tempo from Longinus leading Interjection. INTERJECTION (3) progressive Too Darn Hot gelding who resumed in good order with a gritty on pace win over 1350m at Newcastle on September 3. Extra trip suits and Berry keeps the ride. LONGINUS (2) was rewarded for his consistency in easier company when a commanding maiden winner over 1400m at Canberra on September 6. Backs up quickly and looks to be heading in the right direction. EMPRESS OF JAPAN (5) first-up after five months attacked the line late when fourth over 1200m at Newcastle on August 29. Extra distance suits and sure to be strong on the line. MEDIA FRENZY (7) hard fit for this and ready to win. Trapped off the track ad motored late when fifth over 1600m at Newcastle on August 24. Gets her chance from the good gate today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Interjection to win.
